SINK.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jol-IN NALoI-I, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sink; and I do hereby declare that the ollowin,0` is a full and eXact description thereof, reiterence being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

rIhe usual way of makingand constructf ing sinks for waste water consists in providing a suitable deep vessel with perforated holes in the center or any other convenient position. Below these holes, and connecting with the same, a watertrap is attached, made in an S shaped form, and acting at the same time as a watervalve. An overflow pipe from the upper part of the sink is likewise -connected to this watertrap, and the wastepipe is then connected to the bottom ol' the water trap. This arrangement and construction requires not only several tight joints to be made, but requires likewise in case of any stoppage or disarrangement in the watertrap or overflow pipe the breaking of all those different joints, for the purpose of cleaning the stopped up passages, and as said joints, trap and pipe are necessarily situated on the outer and lower side of the sink this is connected with much trouble, inconvenience and loss of time.

The nature of my invention consists in combining and making in one piece with a sink an open channel on the side, for the overflow, as well as an open channel, in connection with said side channel, at the bottom of the sink, said lower channel being provided with a division, whereby the watertrap is produced. Said side and bottom channel being covered up by a cover or plate provided with suitable holes for the escape of the water. At the yend of the water trap a branch is cast, on to which the waste pipe is attached.

In the accompanying drawings Figure I represents a longitudinal section, Fig. II is a plan, and Fig. III a cross section of my improved sink. Fig. IV shows a separate view of the cover.

A represents a square sink made of the required depth, and with suitable projecting flanges around the upper part to fasten the saine down. On one side of this sink a channel, B, or recess, open on the inside is cast on, communicating with a similar but much larger channel, D, made halfround on the lower side. A plate, C, cast on to the sides of said lower channel D, but projecting not quite to the bot-tom of this channel dij vides the same in two parts, and forms, when the top or open side of the channelis covered over the required water trap.A .At the end ot this channel D the pipe or projection is cast on, likewise open toward the inner side of the sink, on the bottom of said pipe, E, the waste pipe is attached in the usual way. This side channel B the bottom channel or trap D and the top of the pipe E, are then covered over by the plate or cover, G, fitting into a suitable recess, in such a manner as to produce a smooth surface on the inside oi the sink. This cover G, vis made solid in thatpart which covers up the top of the pipe, E, and part of the lower channel or trap D until it has passed the partition plate, C, while the remaining part is provided with small holes to allowthe water to escape into the trap D or into the channel, B.

If it should be desired to construct the sink so that the same should retain a certain depth of water, this cover, G, may be provided with a recess into which a lug can be tted, and only the upper end ol" said plate or cover, G, be provided with holes, commw nicating with the top end of the side channel, B. This plate or cover, G, requires only two or three screws to hold it in its place which being all situated on the inside of the sink, are at all times and with little trouble easily removed, when the cover may be taken away, whereby all the channels or traps and pipe can be cleaned from the inside of the sink.

By this arrangement a very cheap sink can be made, whereby all unnecessary joints are avoided, and consequently all leakage is prevented, as the sink with all necessary channels, water trap and upper end of` waste pipe are cast in one piece.

Vhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Y The arrangement and combination with a sink A the channel, B, on the side and the channel D at the bottom of said sink, both thereby a bottom and bottom and-.side eschannels communicating With each other cape for the Water as set forth. and provided With a pipe or projection, E, at the eXtreme end of the channel, D, said channels B and D and pipe E being covered by a partly perforated and removable cover, G, constructed as described and forming Witnesses:
